Will Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K Work on 5,300 lb Trailer

Question:

Hi regarding Ultimate Trailer Jack - A-Frame - Topwind - 27-1/2inch Lift - 2,000 lbs Item # 322-RDJ-2K I have a car carrier with 3500 LB tandem axles. I want to replace the jack with this one but do not know the weight rating on mine. Fully loaded its probably 5300 LBS. Will this jack hold that kind of weight being a 2000 LB rated jack? I know thew complete weight is not on the jack so your help is appreciated. Thank you,

Trailer jack weight ratings are basically for the tongue weight that they would be lifting. Their rating is not for the entire weight of the trailer.

So the Ultimate Trailer Jack part # 322-RDJ-2K that you referenced has a 2,000 lb lifting capacity which would be more than enough for your 5,300 lb trailer which would have a tongue weight most likely of around 500 lbs.
